Former Gamecock Mikiah Herbert Harrigan waived during WNBA training camp
Former South Carolina women’s basketball player Mikiah “Kiki” Herbert Harrigan was waived by the Dallas Wings during this year’s WNBA training camp. The team announced the roster move Saturday, and it popped up on the league’s transaction log Sunday.
Herbert Harrigan did not play a regular-season game with the Wings. She was acquired by Dallas from the Phoenix Mercury on Feb. 2 as part of a bigger four-team trade.
The Wings later signed Herbert Harrigan to a training camp contract on Feb. 24.
Herbert Harrigan played in just her second full season in the WNBA last year with Phoenix. She played in 31 games for the Mercury, averaging 3.2 points per game in 10.8 minutes of play per game.
Herbert Harrigan was taken with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2020 WNBA Draft by the Minnesota Lynx. She was traded to the Seattle Storm after her rookie year but played in just one game for the team before missing the rest of the 2021 season while pregnant. The Storm waived Herbert Harrigan two days before the 2022 season was set to start.
She did not play in the WNBA in the 2022 or 2023 seasons. During that hiatus she logged stints with professional teams in Turkey and London.
Herbert Harrigan played at South Carolina from 2017 to 2022. She helped the Gamecocks win the program’s first national title as a freshman in 2017. She was an All-SEC player in the 2019-2020 season and earned SEC Tournament MVP honors in the same year.
